Abstract

Within recent years our knowledge of crustacean embryology
has been augmented by the work of Prof. H. G. Cannon on the
Branchiopoda, and that of Dr. S. M. Manton on the Leptostraca and
Mysidacea. Nothing, however, has been published on the embryology
of the Syncarida. An examination of the development of Anaspides
tasmaniae Thomson was therefore undertaken. The investigation
was carried out at the University of Tasmania during the years
1932-36. The following pages contain an account of the work accomplished
up to the end of that period.
